Good Points: Great for gravies Wonderful with any white meat dish Lovely as a warming drink Easy to crumble these little cubes Readily available at all good supermarkets and many corner shops Packs are available in different sizes according to your usage
Bad Points: Only if you are Vegetarian! Contains Chicken fat and dried Chicken bone stock
General comments: Lovely Chicken Oxo, the lighter tasting meat stock cube. Another 'must have' for any kitchen (apart from vegetarian).
So many uses! Chicken Oxo can be added to any white meat dish for added richness, colour, flavour and aroma. I use chicken Oxo mixed with Beef Oxo for lamb too, so it doesn't overpower the flavour, as just Beef stock may. This is a must in chicken or pork stews, and casseroles for my family. No other brand will do! So very easy; just crumble into the dish during cooking and stir!
Here is a nice idea you can try with these. When making dumplings, instead of adding salt and pepper, crumble in a chicken Oxo. Oxo flavoured dumplings really finish a stew or casserole off beautifully! One cube is subtle enough not to overpower that delicious dumpling taste, but if you like it more seasoned you could always try adding two!
Another nice idea, when roasting a chicken, instead of sprinkling with salt before cooking, pour over a little oil and crumble a chicken Oxo over the bird. The skin will crisp up and the taste is beyond niceness! When carving your cooked chicken, share it fairly to avoid a fight over who gets the skin! And if on a weight loss diet, you will know the skin is more fattening than the meat, but will you be able to resist?! Just a little nibble of that gorgeous tasting crispy skin? You have been warned!
Chicken Oxo can also be made into a nice, light and warming drink. Just crumble a cube into a mug and pour on boiling water. Lovely! Add a shake of pepper to taste if preferred. For people counting calories, this is even lower than the Beef flavour; only 16 calories, 0.2g fat in each cube.
The ingredients of these stock cubes are as follows:
Wheat Flour
Salt
Flavour Enhancers (Monosodium Glutamate, DisodiumGuanylate)
Flavourings (contain Celery, Mustard)
Yeast Extract
Dried glucose syrup
Chicken Fat
Potato Starch
Sugar
Dried Chicken Bone stock
Colour (ammonia caramel)
Antioxidant (Butylated Hydroxyanisole)
These stock cubes are very reasonably priced, and they can be purchased at all the main Supermarket chains, and very many corner shops. I buy mine at Poundland. Not bad, just £1 for 24! The recommended price for 24 is £1.69, but they may be cheaper in your local supermarket. They come in other sizes too, smaller and larger!
Oxo chicken flavour stock cubes are a must for every non-vegetarian kitchen!
Right next to Oxo Beef flavour!
